20.500.12556/DKUM-93989 Pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago as a path to repair morally grounded self-actualization and prosocial value shifts This study investigates how the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage influences personal value systems and self-actualization in the context of late modernity, where individualism and instrumental rationality often constrain moral and communal development. Drawing on Schwartz’s value theory and Kaufman’s scale of self-actualization, we conducted an online survey of 500 pilgrims to examine self-reported value changes following the pilgrimage. Factor analyses tested whether these changes aligned with theoretical value structures and how they related to self-actualization. The findings suggest that pilgrimage fosters a shift from self-enhancement toward self-transcendence, with self-direction aligning more closely with universalism and benevolence—indicating a socially oriented form of autonomy. Increases in self-actualization correlate positively with self-transcendence values (universalism and benevolence), self-direction, and conservation values (tradition, conformity, and security) while showing negative associations with power and achievement. The pilgrimage experience appears to realign values toward altruism, moral engagement, and sustainability. By integrating personal growth with ethical and communal orientations, the Camino de Santiago emerges as a meaningful context for multidimensional repair. In this way, the pilgrimage can be understood as a journey of repair—mending value hierarchies fractured by late modern life and restoring a sense of belonging, care, and transcendent purpose. pilgrimage Camino de Santiago transformation value change self-transcendence self-actualization romanje moralna prenova Camino de Santiago transformacija sprememba vrednot samoprenova samouresničitev true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-07-29 03:11:21 2025-08-27 10:52:07 2025-08-28 03:47:44 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-14 št. 7, št. članka 863 Letn. 16 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2025-05-03 2025-07-01 2025-07-03 316.334:2 243887619 10.3390/rel16070863 2077-1444 RAZ_Brumec_Snezana_2025.pdf RAZ_Brumec_Snezana_2025.pdf 1 6E480FFF6C77CE5F0A93300547ED5D90 33c476b82c5d63572764deaa5a3e45efbe7fb442deeb7d5a15abcdc585f8e89e 3889dc00-8323-11f0-8e8c-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196559 https://doi.org/10.3390/rel16070863 0 458ab9af-8323-11f0-8e8c-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196560 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
